My Nonprofit Reviews

Neighborhood Bike Works is a wonderful organization that has introduced me to the wonderful world of Cycling, from Road to Mountain, as well as taught me how to do everything from changing a tube, to overhauling a bottom bracket. I've learned how to maintain my bikes, how to interact with adults as well as young children, as well as ride alongside traffic. The Staff and Volunteers at NBW are knowledgeable, and kind people that are passionate about cycling as well as being mentors to the students who continually return and support NBW. I have volunteered and taken Earn-A-Bike Courses, and I am part of the NBW Racing Team, this group spans both Road and Mountain cycling, and is a group of Earn-A-Bike Graduates, ranging from 10 to 18 years of age. We rode alongside staff, board members, volunteers, parents, and enthusiasts to Harrisburg in the Summer of 2010 to meet with representatives to raise money for the program. NBW has helped me lose 40 lbs, 30 in the Summer of 2009, and 10 recently. They have also opened doors for the Racing Team to join Amateur // Semi - Pro Teams such as QCW, and Tri-State-Velo, and has gotten some involved in charity cycling events such as the MS 150 City to Shore. Neighborhood Bike Works has opened doors spanning from racing, to volunteering, and even jobs. It has taught hundreds of children from Philadelphia, and surrounding cities how to ride safely, build, and maintain bicycles.
